As a workaround, if I put a 1% in for Task 2, then it does go ahead and splits the task, but that's just a hack to get it to update the timeline, and can't be the only way to do things. If we fill in the 100% complete for Task 1, and leave everything else at 0%, Project does NOT move Task 2 to Thursday, and as a result there doesn't appear to be any slippage, so at a glance we might conclude the project is still on-time. In Scenario 2, Task 1 is still 100% compete, but task 2 hasn't been started yet (0%). As a result, Thursday's task moves to Friday, and our Friday milestone moves to Monday and we can clearly see the project completion will be late by a day (1 day's slippage). If we fill that information in, Project will split task 2, and move the second part of the split (the remaining 50%) to start on Thursday. In Scenario 1, Task 1 is 100% complete, but task 2 for some reason is only 50% complete. Now, let's set the Status Date to Thursday - we're updating the project plan. Task 4 (0h, milestone, dependent on 3) Finishes on Friday. Task 3 (1d, dependent on 2) starts on ThursdayĤ. Task 2 (2d, dependent on 1) starts on Tuesdayģ.
Set up a new Project with the following tasks:Ģ. How can I get MS Project 2003 to show schedule slippage on unstarted tasks? Is there a setting / Tool or other feature I need to be using? Example Then it moves the remaining part of the task forward to the status date. The only workaround I've found is to assign it a small % complete, such as 1%. However, if a task that was supposed to start before the current status date has not even started, I don't know how to make Project push that task forward to the current status date. Edits to total task % complete will be spread to the status date.įor tasks that are complete or partially complete, this works great - just fill in the % Complete value, and things jump around, showing you if you're ahead or behind schedule for the remaining tasks.Move start of remaining parts before status date forward to status date.
Move start of remaining parts back to status date.Move end of completed parts after status date back to status date.In my Options > Calculation I generally have the following set: How do you handle this? My "Hack" Workaround Project doesn't update the tracking Gantt, so you can't see that the project is "slipping". The problem occurs when I'm updating the % Complete, but a task that was supposed to be complete (or in progress) has not been started yet, so I leave it at 0% Complete. Once I've set up my baseline, I like to use the Tracking view to see schedule slippage (ie: is a project going to be "late"?).
